Red Tractor Tycoon vs Tiny Pixel Farm
Red Tractor Tycoon
Red Tractor Tycoon is a surprisingly unique, fun and relaxing farm simulation game where you get to design your own farm, plant and harvest a variety of crops, rear several types of farm animals, and even build factories to produce crafted goods that you can place on your farm or sell for a profit! The game is also pretty simple to pick up and as you progress, you'll get to uncover new land to develop a farm on.For an early access game, Red Tractor Tycoon is definitely among the rare “cream of the crop”. The game is relatively bug-free, though there are still some aspects that I think the developers can work on to improve their game and attract more players. The gameplay here might feel rather tedious, especially for the first hour or so when you’re just wandering around and clicking on everything while trying to figure things out, but eventually, the game does become a lot more enjoyable.
Tiny Pixel Farm
Tiny Pixel Farm is an idle farming game that is unlike any other. Backed with a heartfelt story about an elderly farmer whose farmland is slowly being claimed by greedy corporate goons, in this game, you play as the grandchild of the said farmer and you are determined to reclaim what was rightfully your family's.Although the gameplay is generally idle in nature, the idle part of the game isn't exactly textbook-styled. As opposed to fully automating everything, you still need to put in some "work" for instance, by swiping and tapping on your animals to collect produce, on your hay-producing farms to collect hay, on your pets to collect exp gems, and others. Aside from the well-design and satisfying progression system in this game, there is an insane number of animals you can keep at the farm too.
The game is also very "video ad-heavy" mainly because you will always be given an option to watch video ads in exchange for instantly completing something, be it a construction process or selling all the goods in your shop. However, what I really like about the game is how it gives you a heads-up whenever a full-screen ad is coming up and it also thanks you after you've watched a video ad. More games should seriously take a page out of this game's book and do this!
All in all, although this game does require a good (middle range to high-end) mobile device to run, Tiny Pixel Farm brings a ton of innovation to the idle gaming genre and the game does it so brilliantly well. If you enjoy idle games, farm games or both, you might want to give this game a try.
